My human's shoulder or on a play stand. I do enjoy sitting next to the fish tank when it's time to feed them, as well.

When my human puts on her white pants and blue shirt, that means she's going to work. As for being trapped in a cage, I have one major retaliation to this behavior of hers. The sad eyes. Now, lets be honest, sad eyes from a puppy makes the average human go "awww," but when an ECLECTUS does it, it melts anyones heart!

I'm quite amazing, as I'm told so very often, so I have grown some habit of speaking about myself. I can repeat how everyone greets me, how pretty I am, and some of their favorite phrases about me. Some of my favorites are;

"Heeey Jack, hey buddy, watcha' doin?" "Whata' a gooooodd booyyyyy!!" "Hewwo, Kewwy!" (This is my newest) I've also learned how to laugh, and how to use it correctly!.

"Wuussssuuuuupp- ppp??".

A note from Sierra to all of her friendsI just wanted to stop by and wish all my friends here on Bird Channel a nice weekend. Today is a very special day for me and my Erin. We are celebrating my 1 year of coming to live with Erin!! We are so happy today! It's seems like Erin and I have been together forever, but yet we both can't believe this day is here. It was an uphill battle (guess mom named me right, Sierra means jagged mountain range.) Just to think a year ago I was afraid of everyone now I have nothing to fear, well almost. Erin says I have grown by leaps and bounds, this past month have have also decided its okay to let select people hold me. We both feel so triumphant! It's so wonderful to live a normal happy life. Today we shall celebrate with some birdie bread and new toys!! I can't wait to get the party started :) we will take pictures and post them at a later date. So in honor of me please do something fun with your parrot today! Birdie hugs <3 Sierra

Hi JackMy mommy says that we are like walking dictionaries. I told her that would be the Macaw or the African Grey. She shook her head and told me to stop smarting of...LOL You know what is funny?? Sounding like the doorbell!! OMG, I had a blast when I did that for the first time. You should have seen my mommy running to the door only to find out there was nobody there. It took her a whole day and 20 pounds lighter to find out it was me...ROFL Here a vote for you! TTYL

CongratulationsYou certainly are a charmer. I know how it is with those sad eyes. You're right no one could ever resist. Congratualations on your Bird Of The Week honor. Time for some more spoiling I guess!

Hey JackHow's it going? Congratulations on bird of the week!Love your pics.Well it looks like mom is going to add a couple of blue parrotlets to the family soon.She is thinking of putting her order in for one this weekend.Then the other when one comes available.She still wants to get one like you and remembers what your mom told her about you eclectuses - males.That would be really neat.Hope you have a great weekend.Vote for you.

InYakimaMom says she will take me to PetSmart when it warms up - I'll make sure she tells you when we are going. I will go in my nifty carrier and then I won't be so scared. Mom caught me eating some whole wheat spaghetti - thank goodness she didn't get me the night before - I really made a mess! Congrats on bird of the week! Now you are a REAL award winner!

Wusssuuuuppp!Kelly here to say congrats on your impressive award! You sound like an awesome guy; crazy, fun, and gorgeous! (Love those red spots under your wings!) I see fish interest you...I happen to have a love of the fish bowl myself. But the beta doesn't care for my trying to drink and bathe in his ecosystem. For that matter, neither does my mom! You're right about Eclectus' melting hearts...you've melted mine! A V2U!

Hi Jack...and congrats on winning Bird of the Week. I'm sure you've heard this many times before, but you are GORGEOUS! I'd love to add an Eclectus to my flock, but I'm afraid my Quaker and my Cockatiel would be incredibly jealous of that Ekkie beauty. I love your attitude too, and it sounds like you've found the perfect human for you. You'll have her trained in no time!:)
